It is a problem that has appeared in the last two weeks, and it was triggered 
by a change in (apparently) libc_r as well as libkse, as it doesn't start 
with both now. With the patch that Michael Nottebrock provided on this list, 
it was perfectly possible to run Konsole with libkse (and libc_r) on a 
-CURRENT from august 15. 

So something was broken in the threads code between august 15 and now. I don't 
think that we should point to Konsole here, something went wrong in the 
threads code.
